can’t possibly express to you all how much i love tuvok.
I do love how often Janeway is like "Chakotay you're my best friend, the person I trust most, the one I can always rely on" when Tuvok, who she has been best friends with for literal decades, who would absolutely die for her if the need arose, is RIGHT THERE.
Under that stoic Vulcan exterior he's probably like:
"Excuse me The Fuck, bitch what am I, a roach?"
Friendly reminder that Tuvok is actually very funny on purpose and all y’all are sleeping on his humor.
tuvok and chakotay are both haters but in an understated sort of way i think they’d bond by sitting on lounge chairs in neelix’s resort program sipping mai tais and watching it all unfold
We do NOT talk about Tuvok and Janeway’s friendship enough like this man is her ride or DIE she said we have to self destruct he says okay babe I’m staying here and going down with the ship with you and she LETS HIM bc she literally trusts him more than anyone else !!!!
Tuvok’s love language is equipping Janeway with his favorite toys like Boo in Monster’s Inc.

Lt. Tuvok comes to me

- “We’ve served on three starships together. I was present at your daughter’s Kolinahr. I consider you one of my closest friends.” - “And I regard you with the same esteem.” - “I’ve always been honest with you, but you’ve been keeping something from me.” - “I don’t know what you mean.” - “Don’t you? It took exhaustive research, sifting through teraquads of data, separating fact from rumor, but eventually I arrived at the truth.” - “Captain …?” - “Happy birthday.”
Voyager Headcanon: Tuvok doesn’t actually like or care about security/tactical that much. He only took that job because after reading about the Adventures of Kirk and Spock he went and got himself a Pet Human (Janeway) because he thought it would be whatever the Vulcan equivalent of fun but he didn’t realize how often his Pet Human would go do something crazy and dangerous so he was like “Welp, better become a security officer so I can protect her. She’ll probably die if I’m not there to constantly protect her.”
So I recently had an ask for Janeway and Tuvok, and I would have answered under the ask, but tumblr actually hates me, so whatevs. Anyway! Here you go anon! Hope this reaches you :) Thanks for push, I’ve always loved the hinted-to history between Janeway and Tuvok.
So I suppose the premise for this is Ensign Janeway and Lieutenant Tuvok have been separated from their away team, no way to contact anyone, so they have to rough it out together on the surface of an alien planet.
I mean, this would suggest Tuvok’s been a lieutenant for 20+ years, but hell. I thought it would have been cute to see the role reversal between these two.
Hope this is near what you were hoping for, anon!
